This was a talk for LAND2 Symposium 'Uncertain Exchanges', a symposium in conjunction with the exhibition 'Landscape, Art and Uncertainty', at Southampton City Art Gallery.

The combination of the proliferation, quality and quantity of images of place somehow become its unmaking. Topophobia arises when these technologies of disappearance do their work on our sense of place and arouse our anxiety for what is slipping away from us. Eggebert reflects on how a number of the works included in Eggebert-and-Gould's co-curated exhibition, TOPOPHOBIA, approached these technologies, towards a radical view of contemporary and historical representations of landscape.
